Question

The applications has stopped unexpectedly

I get this error when pressing a button on a specified page.

This code hangs the application: --Code snippet

    <Button android:text="Button" 
    android:onClick="SaveRegistration" 
    android:id="@+id/btnAddRegistration" 
    android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">
    </Button>       

public void SaveRegistration(View view) {
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "OK", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }

I run on version 2.2

Problem solved!

In my main java file I have the following on my first button: setContentView(R.layout.newregistration); it change the layout to another xml file newregistration.xml

Later on I created a Addregistration.java file where I placed the event handler. The event handler needed to be placed in my main java file and now it works.

What is the difference between: 1. setContentView(R.layout.newregistration); 2. startActivity(new Intent(this, MenuBuilder.class));

Is it correct that 1. set the layouts that the user see 2. set which class to get eventhandlers and etc.

Answer 1

Does your class extend Activity like below?

From Android site:

public class HelloAndroid extends Activity {
   /** Called when the activity is first created. */
   @Override
   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       TextView tv = new TextView(this);
       tv.setText("Hello, Android");
       setContentView(tv);
   }
}

Edit: Does commenting out the Toast cause the error to go away? If so, this is likely the problem. Work your way through the Android tutorials .

Answer 2

How about if you remove

android:onClick="SaveRegistration"

from your layout and do it in your code, eg

Button myButton = this.findViewById(btnAddRegistration);
myButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
        {
            public void onClick(View v) 
            {
                SaveRegistration(v);
            }
        }
    );
